Two of three planned small-format TargetExpress stores coming to the Bay Area will land in San Francisco’s Financial District and Berkeley in March 2015.

The 18,000 square-foot store will open at the southwest corner of Bush and Sansome Streets, next to the Montgomery BART station, while the Berkeley store will be a smaller 12,000 square feet at Shattuck Avenue and Allston Way in the city’s downtown corridor.

The Financial District location will feature a large grab-and-go area with sandwiches, salads, breakfast items like yogurt and mid-day snacks in an effort to serve its nearby office workers and commuters, according to a company statement. The store will also include a Starbucks and select items from Target's “Made to Matter” collection, which features products from Bay Area companies such as Annie’s, Yes To and Method.

The Berkeley store will have a large selection of grocery items, including produce, dairy, frozen, snacks and beverages aimed at serving students, commuters and residents of Berkeley, the statement said. Both new TargetExpress stores will be stocked with items from the home, beauty and electronics departments, including an assortment of Target’s owned brands. The stores will also include Target’s popular pick-up-in-store service and a pharmacy.

“From listening to our guests at the two San Francisco CityTarget stores, we know the smaller format of TargetExpress will fit right into the busy San Francisco Bay Area lifestyle and enable us to cater to each community’s needs,” said Kamau Witherspoon, senior director of store operations at Target.

Minneapolis-based Target opened the first TargetExpress in Minneapolis in July, and plans to open another in St. Paul, Minn. in 2015. A third San Francisco Bay Area TargetExpress will also open in 2015, and although a location has not been announced, a proposal has been submitted for a TargetExpress at a site formerly occupied by Rite Aid at 1830 Ocean Ave., according to the San Francisco Planning Department. That spot has been vacant for six years.
